What’s up, what’s down and what are you not sure about?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

I finally finished my first iteration of my Minilab including a very smooth migration from the old server yesterday so I can go to the service side of things again. I plan to get some kind of selfhosters VPN for external access to stuff that's not exposed to the internet, I'll have to investigate which one.

Yeah I had your idea back when I wanted a nas. I didn't have the time and just bought a synology knowing it wasn't the best option and was aware of the possibility of enshitification. Now that they've enshitified, I can't really recommend them any longer. So far it's been good but I'm still looking for options that are quick and easy to set up. Or maybe I'll grit my teeth and start building one from scratch.

I'm perfectly happy to build my own NAS with NixOS and ZFS on it. I think it's mostly a matter of getting the right hardware.
